Pay TV in Argentina - statistics & facts
Argentina held the highest pay TV penetration rate in Latin America at the end of 2020. More than three-fourths – 77 percent – of households in the Andean country had access to this type of service. The segment apparently trended up throughout the second half of the 2010s. Between 2015 and 2020, the pay TV revenue in Argentina grew by 7.5 percent, reaching nearly 38.8 billion Argentine pesos in the latter year. But the increase may have occurred in local currency only. This is because Argentina struggles with one of the highest inflation rates worldwide, an enduring challenge to its economy.
